Fashions are prevalent in all countries without exception. There is kind of romance or charm in the word “fashion”. She wields her magic want in all the walks of life. No one would dare put on the clothes which has grand father wore fifty years ago. It would require a lot courage to a citizen to furnish his house with out of date furniture. A lady fights shy of wearing old fashioned ornaments. Similarly there are fashions of eating, drinking, saluting and what not.

Fashions like woman’s are feeble by nature. Line roses they blossom soon and die soon. In the past time every cultured person used to keep a fashionable sick in his hand. But now these are conspicuous by their absence. Once youths were fond of a French-cut of the moustaches, now of cure the young and old all are found clean shaven. At one time ladies combed their hair as fans on their, ears, but now simplicity has become a fashion. Ornaments of ladies such as ear-rings, bangles, bracelets etc. undergo constant changes under the patronage of fashions. Now a days many collage girls have adopted the fashion of wearing their saris after the manner of Bengali ladies.

Fashions of eating, drinking, speaking, saluting, etc are changed by aristocrats. Fashions of ornaments, clothes and furniture are changed by jewelers, tailors and furnishers. Sometimes we get inspiration from slims and cinema stars. Even illustrated newspapers start fashions. Sometimes when we fail to find new fashions, we resort to old customs. What was them marked with simplicity attains the glory of being fashionable. do we not find the most enlightened ladies wearing saris and ornaments of old patterns which our grand-mothers used to put on ?

If fashions are romantic, they are also tyrannous. If we forced to change our clothes, furniture and ornaments to suit the prevailing fashion. This means waste of money. I think even the rich must be feeling the pinch of changing fashion. The origin of fashions is found in our desire to look smart, attractive and markedly distinct from others. All persons, like lambs in the herd, follow such fashion and make it a dull thing of the past. The earlier the world is free from the tyranny of fashions, the better well it be for all concerned.
